MG 1/100 Narrative Gundam C-Packs Ver.Ka
Price: TBA
Release Date: TBA
*Details will be revealed in December!
■We received a message from Hajime Katoki!
The Narrative Gundam is the protagonist’s MS from a side story of Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn, so it was obvious that it would be equipped with Psycho-Frame components. However, the Narrative Gundam is a machine that appears after the νGundam and Unicorn Gundam, and is also featured in a side story. Therefore, I came up with a design that stands out with two concepts: an MS that uses Psycho-Frames from the Unicorn Gundam (both in terms of settings and plastic model kit designs), while also incorporating the Core Block System (which I added since I wanted to see and draw a Core Fighter from this era!). These two elements will be the key to the gimmicks within this Ver.Ka representation, and I feel that the best and latest GUNPLA technology has been implemented to achieve them.
